  Speaker 1: From a Chicago standpoint, this is what you want to see.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: You want to see this wall, This position in itself
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: is the reason why Chicago is having success on offense.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: What's up, good people. I'm a Reed Hall of Famer.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: This is the blueprint presented by Microsoft Copilot, an official
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: AI sponsor of the NFL. We're talking about the Chicago
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Bears coming off a big win against.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: The Green Bay Packers. As I give you the blueprint
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: on how to.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Stop the Chicago Bears, let's go to Jesse Bates and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: see what he got to say.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you. When you talk about Ben Johnson, you think
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: about all the trick plays and all the creativity that
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: he's done. People don't just line up in two by
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: two or three by one formations anymore. For us the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: defenders to have us think and communicate, talk about the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: different run gap that you would have off of motion,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: those motions that it helps them collect information and ultimately
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: helps them put them in.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: The best call to be successful.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Ben Johnson, I think he walked into a perfect situation
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: with eight young quarterback who can play off time and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: he can deliver the ball on time as well. If
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: that type of offense is very complicated to go against.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: That's what makes their offense.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Just what he was saying, you know, make sure that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: we align fast and paying attention to the shifts and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: emotions because that can get guys thinking, you.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Know, and off track.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So let's go to Coppo AI power technology that the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: pros use on the sideline. Check out the Bears and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: see how they're able to get their offense rolling, getting
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: moving down the field.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Here quarter second, let's.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Go down first and the play already pop up. Gotta
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: be quick on the sideline, plays happen, quick turnos happen,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: see an image, and get back on the field. So
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Chicago is moving the ball and condensed formations coming out
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of the first play. Condensed formations force the defense to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be in positions that they don't want to be. That's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what you can see Caleb C's one, two, three, four, five, six,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: seven eight. Like I said, condensed formation forces the defense
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to show their hand. That's eight people in the box
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that's stopping to run. So are you running the ball
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: against eight? Are you passing? The coach look like they
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: want to run the ball. I mean, look at that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: If you're running it, this is what you want to see.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You want to see this wall, right, you want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: see all those jerseys coming back. Get his guy to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the ball. He can wind back even past this guy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: This position in itself is the reason why Chicago is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: having success on offense. There's no reason why you shouldn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: get positive yards on this. You got to know part
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of that success is obviously the CEO, quarterback Caleb running
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the offense and Ben Johnson, you know, calling those plays.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But like DeAndre Swift player right, you can't run the offense.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You ain't got no run game.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'm getting excited, so now I want to go to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the video, man, to see how it pans out. They're
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: running to them and cutting back away. Man, I told
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you I wanted to see this play. This is why
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Chicago is having success. Look how many people move for
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Philly when that guy shift in motion. You want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: minimize this on defense. Minimize how many people got to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: move when a guy on offense moves. All these guys
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: shifting not getting comfortable. By the time they get comfortable
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and recognize the player is already outside the backside. They're
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: using a little bit of deception on offense, which everybody
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: does and it works. So you know, the blueprint to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: stop these guys is, you know, let's movement, Like we
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: need to minimize how many guys are moving when they motion,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, as a defense, as a coach on defense,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: make it simple for us on defense.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So we could get lined up and we can play fast.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But when you got to got a bunch of guys moving,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: shifting around, it's so easy for somebody to mess up
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in the ball, to go ten twenty yards down the field.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna stick to the Bears condensed formation again. They
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: motion to see if you're in the zone. They knew
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Philly was rocking the safeties. I really believe that they
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: gained plan these guys. They knew that they were dropping
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the safety down, like this safety should slow down. This
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: guy is too fast coming in. He's too fast. You
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: see this big old gap right here, that's where that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: safety should fit. But he's so fast.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Look at that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: See how fast he's coming down gap protected. He can't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: go there, goat protected, goat protected, goat protected.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: His responsibilities here.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But being he's so fast coming up like a linebacker,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he cannot make that play.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You see that he blocked himself.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That safety blocked himself, and he's not where he's supposed
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to be. Like I said, the blueprint ain't always about scheme.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes your players got to know where to be at,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: be in the right spot, being your gap. Have some patience,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, don't move so fast. And we have another
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: video here that's a hell of a run. Oh man, man, it's.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: A hell of a run.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Its hell of a gap scheme, a bunch formation, condenced
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: formations for a reason is to show that defense. Your
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: defense got to show your face Chicago motion. When the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: guy in motions, those gaps change. When the guy pulls,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the gap changed. So guys got to move. You're going
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to see a motion and then you see a puller.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: When that pull happens, the gaps change. The safeties need
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to see this. The linebackers need to see this because
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he needs to move over. That safety shouldn't be doing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that guy's job. He should be on the outside. He
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: should see that puller coming. These guys should be yelling pull, pull, pull,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: highway and something like that to get those guys to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: go to the opposite side. The gap is about to change,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and now they see these guys off. You got two
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: people in one guy because they didn't see that didn't
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: recognize the puller defense.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You gotta communicate.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You gotta communicate Guys bumping, guys moving, But nobody's talking
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to each other.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: There's not a play on defense.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: If somebody motions, nobody should be saying nothing. The linebackers
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: should be saying something, and the safety. The safety should
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: be talking. But they already rock and roll it, you know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So the blueprint ain't always schematic. Sometimes it's your players.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes your players are doing the wrong thing. Sometimes your
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: players have poor technique. You know, if I was the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Rams preparing for the Chicago Bears in the divisional round,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: my blueprint, stop the Chicago Bears offenses.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Put your hands on their receivers.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Put your hands on the receivers, get lined up, communication
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: on defense as much as you can. Because of the shifts, emotions.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Know where you're supposed to be. Bwie's supposed to be.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Play some football, all right,
